On the evening of November 1, 1877, when the citizens of London were still reveling in Halloween, a crisis quietly came.
At this time, Sherlock Holmes had just moved into Montague Street in London and was about to start his career as a consulting detective.
That night, a rapid knock on the door broke his peaceful night. When he opened the door, he saw a young lady wearing a medieval wizard's robe and holding a crystal ball in her hand.
Oh ~ This must be a Halloween prank.
But when he was about to ask the other party to leave, the mysterious lady suddenly said: "I'm not here to play a prank, I'm here to invite you to solve an unprecedented crisis."
"This determines the future destiny of the people of London." She added.
Sherlock: Save the world? Who would believe this kind of story described in novels?
He ruthlessly shut out the other party.
But after that night, his life began to deviate from the normal track little by little. Supernatural creatures began to appear in major media reports. People were not surprised by this, as if everything was so natural...
When the whole world is shrouded in the shadow of occultism and ghosts, it seems that only his memory is confused.
No, as the first consulting detective in Europe, he did not believe that it was his memory that was at fault.
The mysterious lady who knocked on his door on Halloween must know something.
***
Althea Hawthorne is a "ghost master" from the distant future who specializes in traveling back and forth between different time and space to solve the unconventional fusion of the world and supernatural events caused by ghosts, in order to correct the off-track world line and people who have cognitive disorders.
While leisurely enjoying the wonderful vacation approved by the organization, she received an urgent notice. The "World Crystal Ball" suddenly detected that in the Victorian era, which was very far away from them, they were about to encounter a world line deviation crisis caused by occultism.
Forced to take a break from her wonderful vacation, she took the "World's Crystal Ball" to London, England in the Victorian era, and knocked on the door of Sherlock Holmes' house on Halloween night.
Then he was ruthlessly rejected.
Very good, very good.
Althea had already begun to look forward to the very annoyed look on the other side's face.
***
On London Bridge a few days later.
Althea was satisfied: "How is it? Does Mr. Holmes believe what I say now?"
Sherlock smiled: "Is the unknown mysterious lady willing to ignore the past and continue to invite me to save the world together?"
"I'm extremely happy."
From this moment on, the adventure journey that violates convention and transcends time and space officially begins.
